But overall the project has been halted (worked great with nvidia proprietary on ubuntu 8.04/8.10, but that motherboard died), because evdev (both ubuntu 9.10 & git) has issues to put it mildly.

The classic:
End, Left, Down has no repeat
R-Ctrl, R-Alt has repeat
(easily fixable with xset)

The expansion (and showstopper):
F1-F12 has no effect at all.

So I'm back to a one screen setup.

BTW. I realized that all the keypresses also went to tty1 (or whichever console that started the kdm process). So I'll also try an xserver from git to see if anything is different. It might be that there is no console-switching which is at the root of all this (pure guessing at this point)

then I run "Xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" on session startup to get my multimedia keys working and to map caps lock to shift. xev will tell you the keycodes of any key you press, mapping them to F1 to F12 should do.

Again, a clunky workaround. The HAL approach is be cleaner, if it works at all.

Those options I hadn't seen before. I'll test them whenever I get the time. Unfortunately I had to go to the hospital with my son. That has taken a lot of time and energy.

Running a complete git-version of xorg has taken it's toll too.. Things like unable to boot after a git update of the drm-2.6 kernel. Unable to log out (screen just hangs), however I can change to the console, and stop the dm.

Whenever I have some energy, I'll throw my self at it again with renewed ferocity. (building new kernels & xorgs remote, doesn't help much if you don't have the time to sit down and test it)

I don't look at forum posts recently, so I haven't replied it sooner.
I've done my multiseat configuration on Kubuntu 9.04 (with stock distribution xorg, kernel and drivers) and I've upgraded to 9.10 after the beta or rc release and upgrade went without problems with multiseat configuration keept.
It's definitely hard to find some good info about that kind of configurations but once you get it right it looks simple but there are some things to workaround like this with keboard keys.
I've been thinking about making some howto but I haven't find time and to take a fancy for that ;-)
